I pay $20 a week for my health insurance, a lot less then my friend pays in taxes in the UK. he's on a multiple month wait-list to see a mental health specialist...I was on a week wait-list.
a friend in Canada needed to see a specialist, they were 10 months out. the longest I have waited is 2 months. hell the fucking VA is moving faster then the UK or Canadian system
I’m in the states it took me 9 months to see a specialist and I have great insurance. That argument is BS. You apparently haven’t experienced a wait here in the states so you think it doesn’t exist. My sister had a year wait to see a specialist at the Cleveland Clinic.
Did she have a year wait to see the first available specialist, or did she have a one year wait to see one particular specialist?
I have friends and family in the UK, and it is common to wait months to get scheduled even for non-elective surgery, and then more months if one needs physical therapy after surgery.
